Project description

shortscale

CI

https://pypi.org/project/shortscale/

Python module to convert integers into English words.

This is the Python port of the shortscale function, originally written in JavaScript and Rust, documented here. There is a also a Go version.

The short scale, has different words for each power of 1000.

This implementation expresses positive and negative numbers from zero to thousands, millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions etc, up to 10**33 - 1.

Function

def shortscale(num: int) -> str

Example

import shortscale

# ==> four hundred and twenty billion nine hundred and ninety nine thousand and fifteen
print(shortscale.shortscale(420_000_999_015))

After installing this module, the function can also be called from the commnd line e.g.

$ shortscale 420_000_999_015
420,000,999,015 => four hundred and twenty billion nine hundred and ninety nine thousand and fifteen

$ shortscale 0xffffffff
4,294,967,295 => four billion two hundred and ninety four million nine hundred and sixty seven thousand two hundred and ninety five
